In Islamic theology, the concept of a "chosen people" is acknowledged, but its interpretation differs from the Jewish and Christian traditions.

The Quran recognizes the Israelites as a chosen people in the past,
but Muslims believe that this status was conditional upon their obedience to God's commands.

The Quran mentions the Israelites' special status in several verses:


- Surah Al-Baqarah (2:40-47): "And remember, We took your covenant and We raised Mount Tur above you saying: 'Hold firmly to what We have given you and remember what is in it, so that you may become righteous.'"

- Surah Al-Isra (17:2-4): "We gave Moses the Book and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel."

However, the Quran also criticizes the Israelites for disobeying God's commands and rejecting prophets.


- Surah Al-Baqarah (2:211): "The example of those who were given the Torah but did not carry it is like a donkey carrying books."
- Surah Al-Isra (17:4): "And We decreed upon the Children of Israel in the Book: 'You will certainly cause corruption on the earth twice.'"

In Islamic theology, the concept of a chosen people is not exclusive to the Israelites. Muslims believe that God's favor and guidance are available to all nations and peoples who submit to Him.


- Surah Al-Imran (3:110): "You are the best nation produced for mankind, commanding good and forbidding evil."


- Surah Al-Hajj (22:78): "And strive in the way of Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not made upon you any difficulty in the religion."

In summary, Islam acknowledges the Israelites' historical status as a chosen people but emphasizes that this status was conditional and has been superseded by the universal message of Islam.

Look stop Quoting what you don’t know
The Verse is not talking about the Jews or The Chosen Folks as you’re ignorant concerning the Quran.


22:78) Strive in the cause of Allah in a manner worthy of that striving.128 He has chosen you129 (for His task), and He has not laid upon you any hardship in religion.130 Keep to the faith of your father Abraham.131 Allah named you Muslims earlier and even in this132 (Book), that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and that you may be witnesses over all mankind.133 So establish Prayer, and pay Zakah, and hold fast to Allah.134 He is your Protector. What an excellent Protector; what an excellent Helper!



The direct addressees of this were the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), for they were the first who had the honor to be chosen for this service; others have been addressed only indirectly being their followers. This thing has been mentioned in the Quran in other ways as well. For reference, see (Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat 143) and (Surah Aal-Imran, Ayat 110).


Though Islam may be called the religion of Prophets Noah, Moses, Jesus, etc. yet the Quran emphasizes over and over again that it is the religion of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon them all). Therefore, you should follow it. This is for three reasons.

(1) The first addressees of the Quran were the Arabs who were more familiar with Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) than with any other Prophet and acknowledged him to be a holy personage and their leader.

(2) Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) alone was the person whom the Jews, the Christians, the Muslims and the mushriks of Arabia and of the adjoining countries unanimously acknowledged as a great Prophet.

(3) When the Quran invites all these communities to follow the way of Abraham, it in fact, admonishes them that all their religions had been invented long after Prophet Abraham and, therefore, were not trustworthy because they contradicted many things taught by him. As for the mushriks of Arabia, they also acknowledged that idolworship among them had been started by Amr bin Luhayy, who was a leader of Bani Khuzaah, and had brought an idol, called Hubal, from Moab in about 600 B.C. So the religion to which Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) invited them was the same pure, un-adulterated religion which was taught by Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him).

For further details, see (E.Ns 134, 135 of Surah Al-Baqarah )and (E.Ns 58, 79 of Surah Aal-Imran) and (E.Ns 119, 120 of Surah An-Nahal).

132. Here the word “you” has not been addressed exclusively to those believers who lived at the time of the revelation of this verse, or those who believed after its revelation. It includes all those human beings, who, from the beginning of human history, believed in Tauhid, the Hereafter, Prophethood and the divine Books. They were not Jews, Christians, etc. but Muslims in the sense that they had surrendered themselves to Allah. Likewise the followers of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are not Muhammadans but Muslims.

133. For explanation see( E. N. 144 of Surah Al-Baqarah).



Take Heed Quran didn’t say the Jews are the Chosen people better stick to your bible that you know
And stop quoting a book you don’t know out of context.

I know Quran very well I may make mistakes on how you guys actually interpret it well yes Quran may not have explained Israel chosen status but it still gave them something

The Quran does not explicitly mention the Israelites or Jews as the "Chosen People" in the same sense as the Hebrew Bible or Christian Old Testament.
However, it does acknowledge their historical significance and prophetic legacy.


Some Quranic verses mention the Israelites' special status:


1. Surah Al-Baqarah (2:40-47): Allah recalls His favors to the Children of Israel.

2. Surah Al-Isra (17:2-4): Allah gave Moses the Torah and made the Israelites a privileged nation.

3. Surah Al-Dukhan (44:32): Allah chose the Israelites as a favored nation.


However, these verses also emphasize responsibilities and conditions:


1. Surah Al-Baqarah (2:211): The Israelites' disobedience nullified their privileged status.
2. Surah Al-Isra (17:4): Allah warned the Israelites of consequences for disobedience.


Islamic scholars interpret these verses as:


1. Historical recognition of the Israelites' prophetic legacy.
2. Conditional favor based on obedience.
3. Universality of Allah's message, superseding previous covenants.


Notable Quranic commentator Ibn Kathir clarifies:


"The Israelites were chosen for a specific period, but their disobedience invalidated this status."


Al-Tabari adds:


"Allah's choice is not limited to one nation; it extends to all who believe and obey Him."


The Quran emphasizes Allah's unity, mercy, and justice, redefining the concept of "chosen-ness" in Islamic theology.

3:110) You are now the best people brought forth for (the guidance and reform of) mankind.88 You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. Had the People of the Book89 believed it were better for them. Some of them are believers but most of them are transgressors.


88. This is the same declaration that was made earlier (see verse 2: 143 above). The Arabian Prophet (peace be on him) and his followers are informed that they are being assigned the guidance and leadership of the world, a position the Israelites had been relieved of because they had shown themselves unsuitable. The Muslims were charged with this responsibility because of their competence. They were the best people in terms of character and morals and had developed in theory and in practice the qualities essential for truly righteous leadership, namely the spirit and practical commitment to promoting good and suppressing evil and the acknowledgement of the One True God as their Lord and Master. In view of the task entrusted to them, they had to become conscious of their responsibilities and avoid the mistakes committed by their predecessors see (( (Surah 1, nn. 123 and 144




'People of the Book' refers here to the Children of Israel.

لَنۡ يَّضُرُّوۡكُمۡ اِلَّاۤ اَذًى​ؕ وَاِنۡ يُّقَاتِلُوۡكُمۡ يُوَلُّوۡكُمُ الۡاَدۡبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يُنۡصَرُوۡنَ‏ 
(3:111) They will not be able to harm you except for a little hurt, and if they fight against you they will turn their backs (in flight), and then they will not be succoured.




(3:112) Wherever they were, they were covered with ignominy, except when they were protected by either a covenant with Allah or a covenant with men.90 They are laden with the burden of Allah's wrath, and humiliation is stuck upon them - and all this because they rejected the signs of Allah and slayed the Prophets without right, and because they disobeyed and transgressed.



90. If the Jews have ever enjoyed any measure of peace and security anywhere in the world they owe it to the goodwill and benevolence of others rather than to their own power and strength. At times Muslim governments granted them refuge while at others non-Muslim powers extended protection. Similarly, if the Jews ever emerged as a power it was due not to their intrinsic strength but to the strength of others.


Read the Last Paragraph
Even the Quran says that they can only Enjoy peace and security not by their own power and strength but by the Protection of others either Muslims or Non Muslims

God almighty can use anything to protect you that is why he is God

God used the red sea to protect Israel and sank all Egypt army men in it

God can use whom ever he wants that is how God does his work he can also use the devil if need be to protect you every thing
Answers to God almighty

So don't belittle Israel because they said they can only be protected by other powers

That is pure grace to them

Even their pilgrimage country of origin is killing people base on the so called bible promises and scriptural backings (which is actually an eye for an eyes) but yet the mumu guy arguing up & down on this thread would not recognize religion overall is a scam and it should be personally matter and not general issue.. come, Warn yourself very very well here o, don't spew rubbish on this thread again.

Fulani said they own Nigeria and it's their birthright.

They believe this religiously and even use the religious book to support this assertion.

Shouldn't we allow them have Nigeria to themselves including your father's land since they believe it to be so?
